Our Team

The Ontario Conference Youth Ministries Department is dedicated to empowering the youth and young adults of Ontario as they pursue their mission to be ambassadors of the kingdom. Youth ministries operate at three levels: conference, regional, and local. These levels collectively form the Ontario Conference Youth Ministries Action Committee (YMAC).

The purpose of the YMAC is to coordinate all youth ministry activities, which would include dates/calendars; to provide a support system to the overall work of youth ministries in Ontario; to provide resources and guidance to leaders and practitioners in the field; and to give needed advice to the youth director specific to their area of ministry.
